Habitat:
Acrometopa syriaca inhabits dry and hot places with at least partially higher growing vegetation (e.g. Cistus). In Kalymnos Island (Greece, East Egean), I recorded larvae and adults in high density in a road side verge planted with Nerium oleander.

Remarks:
Acrometopa syriaca occurs from the Greek East Egean Islands across parts of Anatolia to the Near (e.g. Syria and Lebanon) and Middle (e.g. Iran) East.
